Travis Head, fresh from being man-of-the-series in Australia’s 4-0 Ashes win back home in January, hit two boundaries before he miscued a drive-off spinner Nauman and was caught behind by Rizwan. Shaheen (1-80), Naseem (1-89), and Sajid (1-122) were the other successful Pakistan bowlers. The second Test of the series is in Karachi from March 12 to 16 and the third in Lahore from March 21 to 25.
